1. the ultimate meaning of art is everything. everywhere you go and walk and surround yourself with is art. you yourself is a working piece of art in progress. you having a culture behind you, thats art. you having two sides, a inner self and outer self. no one really gets to know the real you unless they ask and get to know you. all they do is judge you from the way you look on the outside. art is exactly what you are. you have to think in and out of the box.
2. theres two sides of my piece of art, and when i say two sides i literally mean two sides. when you have it up or down theres a different image everytime. it may appear to be as simple as it being two guys but they have feelings too. the look on their faces can explain alot or even what they have on.
3. my art expresses the mood of happiness, because both of the males are showing an expression of joyfulness as if they found their true loves in a blink of an eye. they seem as if they arent scared of anything and they can take what ever is being thrown at them. you can say alot about these two gentlemen by just looking at them.
4. i would have to say that thinking of fthis project and what i was going to do was the hardest because i was going to do music like always do. but since i do music all the time and itll always be there, that i would try something different. so i wanted to create an art piece, but not my regular art pieces. i wanted to do something that no one else would have thought of. is something ive always wanted to try but never got around the chance to do so, and this was my chance to do so. and im pretty relived about my final choice and im very passionate about it.

in my opinion when i first created this i didnt look at it as art. my first thought was that it was my shirt that i created, it never crossed my mind that i could create such a thing. and o generalize art is extremely hard because art it alot of things. it never dawned on me that fashion is art and music is as well. art is everywhere, its all around us. its even on our bodies. models who show alot of skin and model their poses is a form of art as well. everything in this world is art. i dont think art should even be judged, for the simple fact of it being everywhere we stand and who we are. there isn't anything that is not art. it's impossible. thats how good we have it, for everything to be art, it's amazing. the nastiest things such as your boogers can be art as well, because they have a unique shape and the color is and outstanding form of green, and dont forget to mention that the art has a scent to it. art is everywhere we walk, the way we breathe, everything.

1. in the "Sculptural Seattle" she explores art in seattle on the artist Dale Chihuly. she goes around and explore his different pieces of art that is in seattle in local parks and malls, even in hotels. hen she got to each of the art pieces she started feeling cravings for being bright, buying bright clothing items and etc.
2. they use the example of the art pieces such as , the color of it or the shape. or even exploring the art piece in a different lens, kind of like reading through the lines, but exploring through the art piece.
3. i think that her beliefs and values all shape and exercise the fact of having an open mind. because for her to want to explore art some where else other than her home place is expanding her horizons. so as far as her values and beliefs go, she is expanding her horizons and is keeping an open mind about things.
4. she did bring up a good thought about some of the art pieces leave her craving for something different every time. its weird how it makes some one have cravings but than again its understandable because chefs create art pieces when they plate food and make it look presentable so that some one would want to eat it.
5. all the pieces that were in the article were pieces of art because she even gave a simple explanation about it being a piece of art.
6. art is a piece of work that gets you thinking, even if its a negative comment such as "what in the world was the person thinking about when they did this?"

this picture is clearly someone expressing their love for shoes and created a picture of the different shoes. as much as it may seem simple the thought and creativity that was put into this piece. you can sit there and say that you can do that, but have you actually thought about doing it? me personally would consider this art because i like shoes just as much. this particular piece of art was made for an advertisement for a type of shoe brand and just so happen to turn it into a piece of art. for example, drawing a small dot on a blank canvas. that is art as well, because it can mean multiple things, such as, someone being the dot and them having all that space around them. or that could be how someone feels because the dot is all alone on because its all alone on the canvas.

For the final piece i just want to show that any one can do something as simple as creating a piece of art. I don't consider myself an artist because its not something i want to do. but now that i explored the definition of art even more, i actually am an artist because i do music and that is a form of art. I'm sure to most people when they here art they automatically think that is a painting or a drawing, but music and dancing and clothes are also forms art as well. As long as the piece of art sets a tone for you to think of when you look at it than it can be art. 

My piece that i plan on doing is something that i don't usually do because i don't draw as often as others. My form of art that i do a lot is music and fashion because those are my main interests. so i am going to attempt to draw all my interests together into one piece. So I'm going to collaborate my culture, family, music and my future plans in stored for me in the future. majority of my art is going to be based off of some of my traditional items that we use in my samoan culture. This project is something I've never done before but its always been something i want to accomplish.
